In Jardin Gramacho -- Latin America' largest landfill, located outside of Rio De Janeiro --waste is currency for Brazil's poorest. It's also a major source for the country's methane pollution problem. In this powerful documentary, director Marcos Prado juxtaposes video clips from the landfill with a montage of black and white photographs of the people who work the grounds. He captures life on the landfill for the tens of thousands of people who subsist off of the "waste," and offers a greater context for why such landfills exist. Waste combines grim footage with ideas for a better tomorrow.
